ceptacle has a laterally extending part H and is adapted to extend toward the washer and designed to guide the clothes as they are put into the extractor.

In order to hold the truck upon the track, laterally projecting angled members N, fastened to the legs, are adapted to engage un derneath a flange of the way and guide the extractor as it is moved back and forth.

By the provision of an extractor made in accordance with my invention, it will be noted that a simple and eiiicient means is afforded whereby the extractor may be moved along the sides of the washing machines to receive the clothes and move from place to place, being guided in the ways and by the projections upon the legs thereof, the receptacle containing the clothes to be acted upon being given a rotary movement by any suitable motor means, not shown, the water being driven off by centrifugal action.

WVhat I claim to be new is 2- In a device of the character described, a truck with depending legs, wheels carried by and outwardly offset from said legs to bring in a vertical plane outside said legs, angled members secured to the outer faces of said legs above the wheels and having their lateral members extended over said wheels, and flanged guideways for said wheels having inwardly extended portions disposed above said lateral members.
